Most rating sites report "67% proficient" for Sutter Elementary and stop there. Here's what that number hides:
42.5% of students exceeded standard while 25.0% merely met it. That exceeded rate is 21.5 points above the state average of 21.0%. That's 10.5 points above the Santa Clara Unified district average of 32.0%. Compared to the 28 nearby schools within ~3 miles, this exceeded rate is 2.5 points higher (vs 40.0% average). The gap between "met" and "exceeded" is the difference between a school that clears the bar and one that raises it.
Proficiency drops by 20.6 percentage points from grade 3 to grade 5 — a signal that the school may not be sustaining early gains.
Chronic absenteeism is 15.6%, better than the state average of 18.7%.
